Put Ageing On Ice!
Shape Malaysia|March - April 2019

It’s possible to slow down the body’s ageing process, groundbreaking new research reveals. These science-backed strategies deliver more energy, happier moods, and a longer, healthier life.

Put Ageing On Ice!

It might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but delayed ageing is now a reality, thanks to new advances in science and research. Americans are staying younger longer, found a recent study from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. “We measured people’s biological age through different markers of good health and found that the pace of aging has slowed over the past 20 years,” explains researcher Eileen M. Crimmins, Ph.D. People are not just living longer but also enjoying more years of prime mental and physical vitality, she says.

While genetics plays a role in how fast we age, new research shows behavioural changes also make an impact. “There’s a lot we can control through diet, exercise, and lifestyle,” says Dr. S. Jay Olshan sky, a professor at University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health and chief scientist at Lapetus Solutions. Here, based on the latest science, are the five smartest things you can do to get the most powerful anti-ageing benefits.

Take a balanced approach to fat

Omega-3 fatty acids have beneficial effects on two markers of biological aging, reports the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Higher intakes are linked to both a 15 percent reduction in damaging oxidative stress and longer telomeres, protein caps that protect the chromosomes and normally shorten as we age.
